Governor Mike DeWine has announced that Andy Wilson, the director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, will serve as interim Attorney General following the announcement of Dave Yost’s resignation.
“I have great confidence that Andy Wilson will do a great job as the Attorney General of the State of Ohio,” DeWine told reporters on Monday. “I base that on my experience in watching him in Clark County, but also, frankly, on my experience in working with him on a daily basis since I became Governor of the state.”
Wilson, who was an armor officer in the Ohio National Guard, began his career as a trial prosecutor in Clark County and was later appointed Clark County prosecutor in 2011.
